Empress, please have some self-respect. I am not your husband.

Xu Zilong's words drew everyone's attention to Lu Feng.

Under the gaze of so many people, Lu Feng coughed and pointed to the gift box he had brought: "My gift is inside, but it's not convenient to take it out and show it."

His words only fueled her curiosity. Qin Xinyi's beautiful eyes held a hint of doubt. She knew perfectly well that Lu Feng could give gifts worth over a million to the Qin family.

Of course, she could afford to give Chu Hongyan a birthday gift, but Lu Feng said it was not easy to show it off, which made her a little curious.

Xu Zilong, who was determined to embarrass Lu Feng, would not let him off easily. In his opinion, although Lu Feng was now a third-rank official of the imperial court.

But what presentable gift could a guy like Lu Feng, with such an unknown background, possibly have?

If I can embarrass Lu Feng later, Goddess Xinyi will definitely be happy.

"Brother Lu, what's wrong with showing it off? Is it perhaps too valuable, and you're afraid it might tempt us all to covet it?" he said half-jokingly.

Unexpectedly, Lu Feng nodded seriously: "Indeed, this thing is valuable."

Depend on!

How can there be such shameless people in the world? Just because someone flatters you, you think you can fly to the sky?

Xu Zilong's lips twitched, and he didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Qin Xinyi spoke up, "Then why don't we bring it out and broaden our horizons?"

Lu Feng looked at Chu Hongyan, who smiled mischievously: "I'd also like to see what kind of treasure it is."

She believed that since Lu Feng had prepared a gift, it must be something extraordinary. If she took it out and examined it, Qin Xinyi might be able to see Lu Feng's capabilities.

"Alright, since that's what you say, then I'll take it out."

As Lu Feng spoke, he took the gift box. Everyone else was extremely curious and stared intently at the gift box.

Only Xu Zilong looked disdainful, "I don't believe you can come up with anything good."

As the lid of the gift box was removed, a dazzling color immediately filled everyone's eyes. Before they could even marvel, Lu Feng had already taken out the contents of the box and unfolded them.

Instantly, everyone's attention was drawn to the scene.

Lu Feng took out a dress, which was incredibly bright and colorful. It was one color when viewed from the front, and a gorgeous and dazzling color when viewed from the side. The colors also changed depending on the light.

Everyone was stunned.

In particular, the long skirt is decorated with lifelike colorful birds, which seem to come alive with their vibrant colors.

"This...this...this!"

A young lady from a wealthy family exclaimed, her eyes wide: "Could this be the 'Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Skirt' recorded in ancient books?!"

Lu Feng raised an eyebrow, surprised that there was someone who recognized its value.

The young lady's words even carried a hint of greed: "Legend has it that hundreds of years ago, when the world was unified, the emperor doted on one of his daughters. To make his daughter happy, he mobilized the entire nation to capture hundreds and thousands of rare birds and used the most magnificent feathers from these birds to make a 'Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix' dress. Could this be the one?"

Lu Feng hummed in agreement, then looked at Chu Hongyan, who was gazing at the dress with a hint of infatuation, and said gently, "That's right, this is the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Dress, a dazzling seven-colored dress, the only one of its kind in the world."

"My God, I can't believe the rumors are true!"

"There really are dresses like this! They're so beautiful!"

"It's so beautiful!"

"This is a priceless treasure!"

"I never imagined I would see such a treasure one day!"

"I doubt there's a single woman in the world who wouldn't be captivated by it," Qin Xinyi murmured unconsciously, her gaze lingering on the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix dress.

Xu Zilong, who was on the other side, was dumbfounded. He had also heard the rumors about the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Skirt.

He hadn't expected the gift Lu Feng had brought out to be so precious. Judging from the expressions of the women present, if he were to jump out now and say that the dress was fake, he would probably be the first to be ridiculed by all the rich young ladies.

Not to mention that even he was previously awestruck by the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix dress.

"How is it? Does it suit your taste? Do you like it?" Lu Feng asked.

Chu Hongyan then came to her senses. If there hadn't been so many people around, she would have almost thrown herself into Lu Feng's arms. She nodded vigorously and said, "I like it, I like it so much."

"Why don't you try it on?" Lu Feng pointed out the other person's little scheme.

Chu Hongyan immediately nodded and said to the others, "Please excuse me for a moment, everyone."

After saying that, she took the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Dress from Lu Feng and left the main hall amidst the envious, jealous, and resentful gazes of the other young ladies.

It wasn't until Chu Hongyan had been gone for a while that the young ladies came to their senses and all looked at Lu Feng.

One person couldn't help but ask, "Young Master Lu, how do you possess such a rare treasure as the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Skirt?"

"Yes, this dress is absolutely gorgeous."

"If I had one of these, I would have no regrets in this life."

Hearing their words, Lu Feng merely glanced at Qin Xinyi, smiled slightly, and did not reply.

He acquired this treasure by chance and later kept it at the Qian Guo Lantern Festival.

Originally, I planned to find my savior later and give her away as a gift, but now I've changed my mind and will give her to Chu Hongyan instead.

Seeing that he was unwilling to talk about his background, the others, though curious, did not press him further.

After a short while, Chu Hongyan returned.

At this moment, Princess Hongyan, accentuated by the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix dress, truly resembled a seven-colored phoenix. She was already extremely beautiful, and wearing this dress made her even more stunning.

Qin Xinyi, who was originally able to compete with her, was suddenly outshone.

Looking at Chu Hongyan approaching slowly, Lu Feng couldn't help but nod, but if he really had to give his opinion...

Not as good as JK.

Numerous praises rang out, but Chu Hongyan paid no attention to them. Instead, she came to Lu Feng, her beautiful eyes filled with anticipation.

Lu Feng was very accommodating and praised, "The princess is so beautiful that she seems otherworldly."

Content with this compliment, Chu Hongyan sat down between Lu Feng and Qin Xinyi, raised her glass, and said, "Today is the happiest day of my life. Thank you all for coming to congratulate me."

Everyone raised their glasses to congratulate.

After a few drinks, the atmosphere became quite lively. Even Xu Zilong, who was determined to embarrass Lu Feng, no longer dared to harbor any thoughts of causing trouble.

Lu Feng noticed that two people seemed flustered when they met his gaze. Looking over, he saw that it was Zhang Feng and Wang Qi, and he couldn't help but chuckle.

Seeing this, the two chuckled awkwardly, holding their wine glasses. The lesson Lu Feng had taught them earlier had taught them a lesson they would never forget.

Especially after their fathers gave them a stern warning a few days ago, they dared not provoke Lu Feng again.

As the scene grew increasingly lively and everyone started having fun, Chu Hongyan winked at Lu Feng and took the lead in walking out of the main hall.
